My new book is entitled “P.A.I.N. – An Invitation to Self Love”. It contains much of the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that I’ve gained through many decades of working with people in physical and emotional pain and, the journey of healing my own. What I’ve learned is that every painful experience of our life is an opportunity. To heal, understand, grow, connect. To shift in some way, our relationship with ourselves. That physical pain? An opportunity to Pay. Attention. Inside….

Blowing the doors off my story! A cousin of mine posted a picture of my siblings and a group of cousins from our childhood that I had never seen before on FB. My sister and I were in the center, “dressed to the nines” in dresses with matching stockings (who wears stockings in the Jamaican heat? 😄). I even had a purse in my hand! My response to seeing the picture was one of pure shock! It BLEW the lid…

Have you ever noticed how much time and money we spend distracting ourselves? The multi-billion dollar “entertainment industry” solely exists to cater to this desire. God forbid we should feel bored, disappointed, confused, angry, sad, afraid, or overwhelmed (which is simply a cluster of unidentified emotions). In the space of ‘doing nothing’ we are confronted with our thoughts and emotions and our unwillingness to be with them. It can be downright scary to sit with or face the aspects ourselves…

Self Care. Sometimes it can feel like a dirty word (or more accurately, two dirty words) Taking care of yourself can feel like yet another thing on your already full plate. If you’re a caregiver/caretaker for others, you may not have anything left over at the end of the day for yourself. Boy have I been there and done that! As a woman, a mother, a wife, I had been conditioned to nurture and nourish others, to put myself last….

“Balance is the key to everything. What we do, think, say, eat, feel; they all require awareness and through this awareness we can grow. ~ Koi Fresco Eckhart Tolle, spiritual teacher and author, once pointed out something quite insightful – we are human beings, not human doings. Most of us forget to just be. We forget that we are enough just by being. We don’t have to do anything to be magnificent. Most of us forget to just be. We…

The path of awakening is not about become who you are. Rather, it is about unbecoming who you are not. ~ Albert Schweitzer There is rapid change happening in our world today. We live in a time of change like the world has never seen before. More and more people are becoming conscious of spiritual matters and are awakening to the need for change on a global scale. Many aspire to take back their lives and escape the models of…

“Being happy doesn’t mean everything’s perfect. It means you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” ~ Author Unknown Happiness is your birthright. Everyone, no matter who you are, deserves to be happy. Interestingly though, the happiest people in the world aren’t the ones with the most money, possessions, fame, power, friends, health or even love. Most of us, from an early age, learns to be unhappy. We form hidden or subconscious patterns that create unhappiness. Some people even come to…

Manifestation is one of those words that has become a “buzzword”. Often associated with the Universal Law of Attraction, for many it conjures up images of having things appear magically “out of thin air” (but only if you know “The Secret”). For others, it denotes an ability to attract without effort – a gift that is given to a select few. In reality, we are all manifesting all of the time, 24/7. We are all co-creators of life. The question…

Every year, I talk with many women about their career hopes and dreams. And the one thing I hear them say most often is: “I just want to make a difference.” And the truth is that they are already making a difference, because everything we do has an impact in the world in some way. The problem is that they are not making the difference that matters to them. The hours that you spend working will dictate whether or not…
